Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Ecosystem
  • Carbon dioxide

Timo Vesala mostly deals with Eddy covariance, Atmospheric sciences, Ecosystem, Hydrology and Meteorology. His Eddy covariance research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Sensible heat, Boreal and Flux. His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Primary production, Canopy, Scots pine, Aerosol and Carbon dioxide.

His work deals with themes such as Climate change and Biosphere, which intersect with Ecosystem. The various areas that he examines in his Hydrology study include Soil water, Trace gas and Vapour Pressure Deficit, Transpiration. His study in the field of Latent heat, Turbulence and Atmosphere is also linked to topics like Footprint and Flux.

His most cited work include:

  • FLUXNET: A New Tool to Study the Temporal and Spatial Variability of Ecosystem-Scale Carbon Dioxide, Water Vapor, and Energy Flux Densities (2698 citations)
  • Europe-wide reduction in primary productivity caused by the heat and drought in 2003 (2547 citations)
  • On the Separation of Net Ecosystem Exchange into Assimilation and Ecosystem Respiration: Review and Improved Algorithm (2050 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Ecosystem, Boreal and Hydrology. He interconnects Canopy, Scots pine, Aerosol, Carbon dioxide and Taiga in the investigation of issues within Atmospheric sciences. In his work, Peat is strongly intertwined with Methane, which is a subfield of Carbon dioxide.

His Eddy covariance study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Climatology, Meteorology and Flux. Timo Vesala works on Meteorology which deals in particular with Turbulence. His Ecosystem study is associated with Ecology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Atmospheric sciences (41.18%)
  • Eddy covariance (24.64%)
  • Ecosystem (12.72%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Atmospheric sciences (41.18%)
  • Eddy covariance (24.64%)
  • Boreal (12.56%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Boreal, Ecosystem and Peat. His Atmospheric sciences research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Growing season, Methane, Carbon dioxide, Wetland and Taiga. His Carbon dioxide study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry and Carbon cycle.

His study in the fields of FluxNet under the domain of Eddy covariance overlaps with other disciplines such as Flux. His work carried out in the field of Boreal brings together such families of science as Bog, Primary production, Arctic, Carbon sink and Vegetation. His Ecosystem study incorporates themes from Photosynthesis, Climate change and Biogeochemical cycle.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The FLUXNET2015 dataset and the ONEFlux processing pipeline for eddy covariance data (67 citations)
  • New insights into the covariation of stomatal, mesophyll and hydraulic conductances from optimization models incorporating nonstomatal limitations to photosynthesis. (62 citations)
  • Early snowmelt significantly enhances boreal springtime carbon uptake (44 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Carbon dioxide
  • Ecosystem

Timo Vesala spends much of his time researching Atmospheric sciences, Eddy covariance, Ecosystem, Hydrology and Photosynthesis. His Atmospheric sciences research includes elements of Canopy, Flux, Methane, Carbon dioxide and Taiga. His Eddy covariance study introduces a deeper knowledge of Ecology.

His Ecosystem research integrates issues from Boreal and Vegetation. The Wetland, Phragmites and Marsh research Timo Vesala does as part of his general Hydrology study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as River delta, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The Photosynthesis study combines topics in areas such as Primary production and Growing season.
